Most of Rafiee Ghani’s paintings depict the interior domestic scenes of still-life objects, plants and flowers in vibrant colours. Here, the curtains catching the breeze, like a string of musical notes tingling in the air, suggest the living space is close to some littoral landscapes or amidst verdant vegetation. The bright tropical colours were perhaps inspired by the artist’s wide travels to faraway and exotic places.
